Vehicle control device

A vehicle control device is provided. A vehicle control device (10) is provided with: a ramp start assist control unit (25) that executes ramp start assist control in which a second target brake pressure (P2c) is set to a second holding brake pressure and a brake mechanism is operated when a vehicle (1) is started in a state in which the slope of a road is at or above a predetermined level; a ramp start assist restriction unit (26) that prohibits execution of the ramp start assist control during a period in which the first target brake pressure (P1c) is set to a pressure higher than the release setting pressure by execution of the automatic braking force holding control; and an automatic braking force holding control unit (24) that, when the automatic braking force holding control is terminated in response to the operation of switching to the reverse range, sets the reduction speed of the first target brake pressure (P1c) higher than when the automatic braking force holding control is terminated in response t
